So My Nature is Complete

Mary Baker Eddy, General Collectanea, pg. 73

This is my support, that the male and female natures are equally
expressed, coexistent in me. This is the way that I exist and is the reason
I never lack. It is because I am of the nature of infinite completeness; there
is never anything in my experience in which the male and female qualities
are not infinitely at one, supporting each other. It is because my spiritual
inspiration is perfectly balanced with scientific understanding; because my
joy is perfectly balanced with courage, and because my love is perfectly balanced
with strength. My tender emotional nature is perfectly balanced with thought,
reason and understanding; therefore, I am in a state of perfect protection,
perfect substance, and I am supported by my own infinity. I am the presence
of substance, because there is no unsupported idea in me.

My manhood takes care of my womanhood, defends, protects, and
supports her. My joy is defended and protected by my courage. My love is protected
and defended by my understanding, by the strength of my scientific understanding
which is omnipotence. I am never undefended and my womanhood cherishes my
manhood. My tender affection cherishes my scientific understanding and unfolds
love to it, takes care of it, watches it with love, and gives it every opportunity
to unfold and demonstrate itself in perfect harmony, unity, equality, and
unfoldment. So my nature is complete.
